The virus that you sent out was called the W32 Badtrans worm. This virus also drops a backdoor Trojan. I know they don't like virus warnings on the mailing lists, but this one is hitting the Rootsweb Mailing lists especially hard because of the way that it perpetuates itself, so perhaps the list moderators will want to warn those on their lists about it. You can download a fix for this worm called the Trojan Cleaner from this website: http://www.angelfire.com/or/matney/page1.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "sharie" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 07, 2001 5:45 PM Subject: [PAARMSTR-L] virus is fixed - I am back > Hopefully there is not an attachment connected to this e-mail.
